How this is calculated
We search the Property Price Register for closed sales near this property — matching by location, beds, property type, and where available, floor area (±20%). This gives us a set of genuinely comparable transactions.
Each sale is then time-adjusted to today using local price trends, so a sale from 18 months ago is inflated (or deflated) to reflect current market conditions. Where floor area is known, sales are also size-adjusted — a 90m² sale is normalised to what it would have sold for at this property's size. This means the figures you see aren't raw prices — they're what those same homes would likely sell for today, at this size.
Your bid strategy (opening offer, sealed bid range, walk-away ceiling) is then derived from the statistical distribution of these adjusted sales — with conservative safety margins applied when data is thin or dated.
Every figure comes from actual government-recorded sale prices. No asking prices, no agent estimates, no automated valuations.

Methodology
Closed sales time-adjusted to current market · size-weighted where floor area available · no asking prices or agent estimates used.
How adjustments work
- —Older sales inflated to current market level so stale data doesn't skew bands
- —Similar-sized properties weighted more heavily where floor area is known
- —Local price trends factored in when sufficient data exists; no artificial uplift otherwise
- —All figures from registered closed sales only — no asking prices, no agent estimates
Local Market Notes
Property Quality
Energy Efficiency: The BER rating of C3 suggests an average energy performance; upgrading to a B2 rating could cost an estimated €8,000-€12,000 and potentially increase property value by €15,000-€20,000.
Size and Value: With 238.0m² of living space, the property offers substantial room, priced at approximately €2,422 per square meter based on its estimated value, which is competitive with the 1km median price per sqm of €2,667.
Configuration Assessment: This detached 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom property is well-suited for larger families, but the 2 bathrooms may be a limiting factor for a property of this size and bedroom count, potentially impacting resale appeal and immediate functionality.
Hypothesis: While the C3 BER is acceptable, the significant difference in BER ratings between this property and the top-performing 1km_180d_median_price_per_sqm of €2,667 (likely representing higher-rated properties) suggests that investing in an improved BER rating could unlock a higher price per square meter, potentially increasing its value by €3,000-€5,000 per bedroom if upgraded to a B rating.
Amenities
Transport Links: Carlow Town is served by national bus routes and has a train station providing services to Dublin, however, specific local bus routes or Luas/DART access are not detailed in the provided data.
Educational Access: Carlow Town offers numerous primary and secondary schools, including Scoil Naomh Eoin and Carlow Educate Together National School, along with Carlow Institute of Technology (TUD Carlow).
Local Conveniences: The area benefits from essential amenities including Carlow Shopping Centre, local supermarkets, and healthcare facilities like Carlow District Hospital and numerous pharmacies.
Hypothesis: Given Carlow Town's status as a regional hub with a university and good national transport links, the lack of specific immediate public transport routes (like Dublin Bus numbers or Luas stops) detailed for this address suggests that the property might be more reliant on private transport, potentially impacting its appeal to commuters and creating a hyperlocal market segment prioritizing space over direct transit access.
